Sweet Land (arcade Game)
is a series of prize machine games developed and released by Namco, now known as Bandai Namco Entertainment for arcades in Japan. Up to four players use the metal shovels to scoop up candy and other prizes from a rotating plastic bowl inside the cabinet, and must have the prizes land on a moving table in order for the players to earn them. The original game was developed following requests for Namco to develop prize machine games as opposed to video arcade games in the late 1980s. The series first began in June 1987 with ''Sweet Land'', and has received numerous updates and sequels, the latest of which being ''Sweet Land 5'', released in August 2015 by Bandai Namco Entertainment.

Redemption Game
Redemption games are typically arcade games of skill that reward the player proportionally to their score in the game. The reward most often comes in the form of tickets, with more tickets being awarded for higher scores. These tickets can then be redeemed (hence the name) at a central location for prizes. The most inexpensive prizes (candy, small plastic or rubber toys) may require only a small number of tickets to acquire, while the most expensive ones (skateboards, low-end electronics) may require several thousand. In general, the amount of money spent to win enough tickets for a given prize will exceed the value of the prize itself. Some redemption games, such as Flamin' Finger, involve elements of chance, which can be set by the operator. A variation on the ticket-based redemption game is the merchandiser, which directly displays and dispenses merchandise, rather than dispensing tickets which are then redeemed for prizes. Redemption games can be seen as the modern success ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
